I installed windows and it borked my grub installation after fixing that it gives me emergency mode every time i start linux although it doesn't describe an error and both linux and windows work perfectly its just kinda annoying having to wait even more to launch linux and it asks for password to then put my password to login to linux
Help pls and im kinda new still to linux so bear with me🙃

Yeah turned off fast startup in windows and i still have it it seems

perhaps some other partition or disk was deleted or unplugged.
do xed /etc/fstab and maximize it
ensure there's no bad lines of missing drives
lapis pulsar
No errors or anything there no

No errors or anything there no

the ntfs drive is always turned on and present each time you boot linux?
lapis pulsar
Mmmm well kind of afaik it is turned on but when i get into linux after the emergency mode i have to get into the disk to mount it
So should i somehow make it mount on startup?
old badge
u see the last line u showed
if that drive isnt on and ready EACH TIME YOU BOOT, u will have issues
old badge
maximize terminal, and check your drives
lsblk -f
make sure all are plugged in, turned on, and mounted
if that uuid in last line of fstab is obsolete, delete that line

make sure all are plugged in, turned on, and mounted

Ye i have bad internet

look at your lsblk -f from before
nowhere does that UUID appear
so do sudo xed /etc/fstab and maximize the editor so no stupid line-wrapping occurs
and delete the last line
that references that non-existent volume
also, if you're going to use a partition on the nvme for linux games, it must be ext4 or btrfs , not windows ntfs
eg: nvme0n1p5

Well yeah but i only have one ssd and i really wouldn't like playing the games on windows on an hdd or the games on linux on an hdd

I could do partitoning but i would have to know which games im gonna download which i dont
lapis pulsar
Alright

you should also label your windows drives and windows-related partitions in Windows
via the Properties box for each
not just call it "new volume"
that's pretty non-descript, and doesnt do you any favours
lapis pulsar
True, btw still emergency mode boot, how do i get out of it quick?
lapis pulsar
old badge
Yeah turned off fast startup in windows and i still have it it seems
if this has been done for sure, then I suggest running the Boot Repair application from the Linux Mint Live USB
why are the letters seeming cut off by one character on the left?
lapis pulsar
Mmm alright i will do that tomorrow then since its 4am for me rn lol i will download it and see. And they are doing that because my monitor is shit (probably). Doesnt happen in desktop mint
old badge
if u dont touch any key at all does it boot fully from that screen you just showed?
